Chapter 5 - Cities Built on Ruins

They all seemed a little shy, probably still thinking about urinating in front of me.

Especially optician, her face was flushed red and she didn't even dare to raise her head. It was unknown if she was thinking about the scene of me urinating just now.

Ever since they knew I was a boy, some of the beauties seemed to be at a loss.

Of course, I think they must be very nervous and excited.

Along the way, Little Tai-mei also kept on asking me:

"Wang Yong, in your era, there were many men, right?"

I was stunned for a moment before replying:

"Uh, a lot. At that time, the ratio of men to women in the world was essentially the same. " I'm talking about the world, of course, and I'm not going to say that the ratio of men to women in China at that time was so out of balance that it was a terrible 107-100! Under that ratio of male to female, the pitiful ones were those men who had no looks, no family background, and no talent. Those bachelors who lost in the competition of survival of the fittest among the males in human society, and were suppressed at the bottom level, all had the same title, which was diaosi.

Like me.

In Chinese society at that time, women had an advantage, because the ratio of males was too high. Women were like precious animals that were surrounded by countless men, and there was a lot of room for choice. Any girls with even the slightest bit of beauty or personality would have a group of suitors called rich and handsome.

The diaosi could only watch as their beloved goddess was taken away by the rich and handsome masters.

In that era where men and women were out of balance and were rich and handsome, women had a lot of power. Whether it was before or after marriage, only you had beauty, so there was no lack of men chasing after you. This reasoning was like a cup of water in a desert. Without a choice, even if the cup of water was mixed with sand, countless hungry vagabonds would fight to drink it.

Of course, I will not tell the beauties of this place these tragic stories of the past. The era of man's woes has passed away 400 years ago.

I think the last batch of young men before the men went extinct were pretty 'sexual blessings'.

His thoughts went astray again. But very quickly, my thoughts were interrupted by Little Tai-mei's next round of questions.

"Hey, Wang Yong, are all men like this?"

"Ah, what do you mean?" I don't really understand Little Tai-mei's words.

"It's just like you, a little fat, with a round face and short hair! I feel that you're not the same as those men in the movies. Those men are tall and thin, and their hair is very distinctive. They don't look like you! "

At the same time, a faint sense of inferiority rose up in my heart. Indeed, in my era, my appearance was indeed rather unremarkable, even though it could not be considered ugly, but it was not the type of beauty that would be interested in taking an extra look.

Of course, due to the male pride in my heart, I braced myself and said, "That might not be the case. There are all kinds of them."

"Then were you considered more outstanding at the time?"

"Uh … My heart's thump, how should I answer that? Forget it, since they didn't know the situation of that era, they could just fool around a little. And male pride made me start to lie,

"Heh heh, of course, I was considered quite outstanding in those days. There are quite a few girls chasing after me. " Even I felt a little embarrassed after saying this. Actually, at that time, I was still a diaosi and hadn't even been in a relationship before. I only loved a few goddesses.

"Really?" The Little Tai-mei asked me with a skeptical tone.

"Everything is true. It's up to you whether you believe it or not. "

"Is that so?" The Little Tai-mei didn't seem to suspect anything anymore. After all, she was someone of this era as well, and it was impossible for her to know the situation of my era.

Along the way, a bunch of beautiful ladies, represented by Little Tai-mei, kept asking me what my life had been like 400 years ago.

I had to tell them that there were also cars, airplanes, houses, and computers, that the toilets were separated by men and women, that there were special girls' schools at that time, that the social professions were separate, that most of the women were engaged in recreational and service-oriented occupations, and that men did heavy work

Little Tai-mei and the others listened with relish, as if they were listening to my story.

"At that time, would both men and women get married and start a family, then have children?" macroophthalmia could not help but ask me.

"Uh, yes. After a man and woman have a relationship, they will get married and form a family."

"Is it a child calling a man a father?"

"Yes." You all know about it? "

"Because it's always on TV and in movies." The Mo Zi replied with a smile.

"Right." I explained to them, then I thought of something and asked, "What is your family structure like now? Without men, do you all only have one mother to raise you? "

"Heh heh, that's not true either. There are people from and my mother. " The Mo Zi explained as she drove.

"second mother?"

I was a little confused, but very quickly the Mo Zi told me the answer.

It turned out that in this world where only women existed, the way their families were formed was like this:

After the age of 20, two women who had a good relationship could take their ID cards and go to the government department to apply for a family. After the family was formed, the women could give birth to the next generation. Of course, this family was formed by the two women and their daughters. In addition, the government also stipulated that the pregnancy time of the two women in the family had to be staggered. If one woman was pregnant, the other woman had to take care of the pregnant woman until the other woman gave birth.

To his daughter, the person who was once pregnant with him was his own mother, and the woman who took care of his mother during her pregnancy was the second mother. Thus, in this world, the average family would have at least four women, two mothers and two daughters.

Of course, if there are no suitable friends to form a family, the government will also require women to have their fertilized eggs implanted between the ages of 25 and 30, and then send them to the government's "maternity home" for 10 months of maintenance, until after the birth of their daughter, they can leave the hospital to live their own lives.

And after the birth of a daughter, the government will also give a certain amount of benefits and bonuses so that single mothers will not have to live under stress to raise their daughters.

Mo Zi and the others didn't avoid telling me this, probably because in their world where only women exist, this topic is as common as ordinary food.

Furthermore, Mo Zi also told me that even though this is the case, the population of the world is still declining every year. Many women opposed to the government's actions because pregnancy was not voluntary (there was no pleasure). Moreover, all the women in this world were very afraid of getting pregnant, because during pregnancy, their bodies would change, they would also have to shoulder huge social responsibilities, and they would even have to bear the risk of miscarriage, making many women feel as if they were dying.

Although there was no other way out for the sake of the human inheritance, there were still plenty of people who resisted the government's use of test tubes to inject pregnant women. It is because many people resist this state policy that the world population has been declining for decades. Experts even predicted that if this trend continued, even women would one day disappear from the face of the earth.

I asked the Mo Zi, "How many people does the world have right now?"

"As for the population, the entire world has a total of 1 billion people. We have 400 million people in China, 300 million people in Western Europe (Europe) and Southern Africa (Africa), and 200 million people in the original Shi Hui s and other small countries. However, compared to 1.3 billion people 50 years ago, the population has been declining by leaps and bounds these years."

"Why is there only 1 billion?" I was stunned. In the 21st century, Earth's population was 7 billion, but now it's only 1 billion?

I was so frightened that I continued to understand that it turned out that in the Third World War, the Indian Peninsula and Russia had all but been wiped out. Only China, the United States, and Europe, and a few other small countries had survived, and China was now the only country that hadn't changed its name. Other countries, such as Europe, have changed to Western Europe (CEU), the United States has been rebuilt into the Shi Hui (Panem) world structure has changed greatly, that world war killed almost 70% of the world's people, and then, with the war subsiding and the country encouraging reproduction, in the remaining decades, the population of Earth has reached a peak, once again rising to 5 billion, but that kind of population explosion did not last for long, because of the male extinction, the way men and women interacted and produced offspring is almost impossible, the government can only fertilize to keep the human race on Earth from dying. But after all, this was just a relief, and the general trend of humanity's demise on Earth was still hard to prevent.

In my mind, the world still has the structure of seven continents and four seas. America, Russia, Japan, India and the other countries are all world powers … I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, there would only be four countries left in the world — Europe, China, Africa, the United States — and all of them have changed their names, with the exception of China.

In addition, due to the world war, human civilization had to go back hundreds of years. It was only in the last few decades that human civilization had finally returned to the level of the 21st century.

"What's wrong? Are you dizzy? Do you want to drink some water?"

Seeing that I was rubbing my temples in pain, Mo Zi thought that I was sick and wanted to give me water.

I rejected the good intentions of the Mo Zi, but my brain was still deranged.

What the hell? How could this be?

There was a long silence.

The others looked at me uncomfortably and said nothing.

After a while, Mo Zi suddenly opened her mouth and said:

"We're about to enter the city."

Mo Zi's voice woke me up. I raised my head and squinted my eyes to look forward.

He saw a regular highway in front of him. At the end of the highway, there was a bustling city with tombstone like houses.

I saw the criss-crossing viaducts and the strange, brightly colored vehicles that came and went.

Through the road signs, I found out that I was going to a city called "Santan City."

At the same time, Mo Zi told me that if I was really from Hangzhou 400 years ago, I would be considered as a part of this Santan City, because the Santan City was a city built on the ruins of Hangzhou.
